Happy Monday? Yeah, happy Monday.
So I did not sleep well last night but I’m not upset about it. I feel myself getting ready to fall asleep and take a nap after speaking with Rhonda but wanted to share what I received in the mail.
Oh my! What a sight for sore eyes! 🧉
I was surprised at how soon this arrived! I was expecting it to take longer! I immediately opened up the Mocha Mint, which smells amazing, and readied my gourd. It’s fantastic. Even better than I thought it would be. It almost feels like I’m drinking mint chocolate chip ice cream which is one of my favorite flavors. I’m very excited to try the Fresh Green to compare to the other plain mate I have. I suspect I won’t be disappointed.
(Okay, I’ll keep it short. I’m glad I got my package of tea. I know I’m a broken record but it’s a true creature comfort)
Oooo~
Neat little individual cups!
This is the gouache that I ordered! I’m not sure the size is being properly conveyed in these photos but it’s big. I knew it’d be large but it’s also quite heavy. I’m probably not going to be able to use it the way I thought but I can take out paint onto a separate palette if I like. I had to stop myself from opening it now because I’m too tired to make anything and don’t actually have a clear desk space to work on. Ha. I’ll be able to properly share the size of these paints then. I was thinking of copying a photograph I like and would paint it but I have time to think about it. Playing with the colors and consistency would probably be a good idea since I haven’t used real gouache in years. It’s always great getting new art supplies to tinker with.
Awww 🖤
Also received today. My aunt gifted these color changing lipsticks to my mother and I. My mom placed this down in my couch den which was a cute surprise. I tried it on and I like it! Pretty moisturizing and a flattering dark pink. The lipstick itself is black (though I’d say it’s more of a lip balm) but turns the lips pink after being applied. It creates a nice subtle touch of color. I usually pick warmer, softer colors (still on the hunt for the perfect one) but I really like this one. Yay!
Hopefully I’ll have a little update on what I end up painting with my new set. For now, I’m going to sip on mate and drift off.
